Reroute the Amp

After months of debating whether to build Mayor Karl Dean's proposed rapid transit project, it still confounds me that no one is really objecting to what I perceive is the Amp's greatest weakness: the route itself.

It's a no-brainer that a city that is growing as quickly as Nashville must expand its mass transit system. Now is the time to address this need, or we will face an insurmountable game of catch-up. However, East Nashville to the West End area? I can't begin to fathom the mayor's logic on this one. Instead, I suggest a route that runs from North Nashville to South Nashville. What a boon it would be for working-class folks in these areas. But hey, not a whole lot going on there in terms of fundraising.
